2004 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship Field Announced

If you compare the host campuses listed on that page with the pdf file showing the bracket, you may notice that, out of the top 16 seeded teams, 12 are hosting a sub-regional, as they should be. As for the remaining four seeded teams that are not hosting:

#13, UC Santa Barbara, is, well, seeded 13th (out of 16). When you're seeded that low, you may have to play on the road. Such is life.

#10, St. Mary's, is playing at Cal; not exactly a long road trip for them. Plus, they're seeded 10th; see UCSB comment above.

#4, Minnesota, has to play at Yale. But, if they make it through the sub-regional, they host the regional.

#3, Hawaii, has to play at Colorado State, and, if they win there, then have to travel to Green Bay, WI, for the regional.

What's the point of going through the pre-season, regular season, and conference play-off undefeated--the only team to do so this year, BTW--and being ranked #1 if the NCAA is going to schedule you like this?

Purdue upsets 9th ranked Colorado State

Apologies to the ladies of Colorado State, but WHO-HOOO! Maybe there is some justice in the world.

Everyone wondered why the NCAA didn't seed 9th ranked Colorado State. Interestingly, this "oversight" by the NCAA set up a 2nd round match between 9th ranked Colorado State and 2nd ranked Hawaii. (A match that, by all rights, shouldn't occur until the 4th round; and a match that absolutely should not be played on the 9th ranked team's home court.) But now, thanks to the upset by Purdue, things are as they should be.

Well, except Hawaii still should've hosted - Mark
